This trumpet trio with piano accompaniment is presented in a solid, determined manner. It makes a definitive statement in the “Power in the Blood” of Christ. The middle section changes meter while maintaining the character of the opening.

An unaccompanied trumpet trio begins from the “git-go” with the melody in the first part with parts two and three adding harmonic and rhythmic interest. A brief modulation and interlude leads into the next section after another modulation with the parts interplaying amongst themselves. Yet, another modulation with block harmonies giving over to yet another modulation and a final ending!

An accompanied trumpet trio and horn substitute. It begins with a slow, soulful introduction with the trumpet parts. Then takes off with the piano at a fast pace. The unison trumpets for a phrase, only to split up amongst the parts. It comes back in with three part harmony with some counterpoint. A modulation ensues with some duet and trio lines. After a break up strain the parts come back in three part harmony only to be joined in with piano and a solid ending.

This trio begins with a joyful piano introduction which leads into a three part harmonization of the instrumental parts. The second section is a lilting (waltz feeling) in block harmonization and then goes into a bell-tone rendition of the tune. A brief transition in a slower, expressive style comes to repose where it concludes in the joyful style that the piece began.

An unaccompanied trumpet trio. The introduction is based on a exuberant motive that leads into the first section which is a straight-forward melody with straight-forward harmonic support. This leads into the next section which gravitates to a different meter as well as key. The parts interplay giving a sense of constant movement. Another modulation takes place and the mood is one of victory and solidification. This continues until a triumphant motive of celebration and victory.
